The New York Yankees are set to bring back their manager, Aaron Boone, for the next two years. Boone led the Bronx Bombers to the World Series for the first time since 2024. Boone and the team were rumored to part ways, but his successful 2024 season has retained his job.
The Yanks might not have won, but the fact that Boone did a good job is undeniable. He gave Yankees fans what they wanted: a World Series after 15 years. However, some Yankees fans are upset that the team has retained Boone. Most of all, MLB fans took to social media to troll the team for giving him a contract extension.
Here’s a look at some fan reactions from X.
“Great news for Red Sox fans,” wrote one fan.

Former Yankees Star Says Bronx Bombers Have A Better Lineup Without Juan Soto
Sean Casey recently discussed the team’s lineup, mentioning that the Yanks are much better without Juan Soto. Casey believes the additions of other players, especially Paul Goldschmidt, have made the team stronger.
“I actually think they have a better lineup this year. I know Soto’s departure is a big deal. But I think Paul Goldschmidt is going to have a great year. He had a tremendous month to close out last season,” Casey said via TOI.
The Yankees are looking forward to another World Series run, and Boone will continue to play his role on the team. On the other hand, MLB insiders are predicting Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to be a Yankee.
